alfresco community tomcat 2.1.0 on windows

[travisw]

I have been trying to figure out deploying Alfresco in JBoss, but continually get nondescript failure errors. I'm pretty sure I've had all the correct files in the correct places with at least one of the times I've called the run.bat file. I've also searched up and down this forum and the documentation for help.

Now I realize, I have no specific need for JBoss, and if I could get the Tomcat bundle working on our Windows server, all would be well, but the script which starts up this package is interpreted by sh. Is there a bat file somewhere out there to start up the Tomcat bundle on Windows, or has anyone tried an sh interpreter for Windows with success?

Hi,

I'm a bit confused about your asking for a "sh interpreter". Which Alfresco bundle did you download? The Windows installer version comes with all the batch files you need to setup MySQL, start and stop the server, etc.

thanks,
Mike

I went back to sourceforge to get the link. This would get you exactly what I downloaded:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/alfresco/alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0.tar.gz?modtime=1185355546&...

The following options were available:

   alfresco-community-sample-extensions-2.1.0.tar.gz
     alfresco-community-sample-extensions-2.1.0.zip
     alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0.tar.gz
     alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0.zip
     alfresco-community-war-2.1.0.tar.gz
     alfresco-community-war-2.1.0.zip
     alfresco-mmt-2.1.0.jar
     WCM2_1-Product-Evaluation-Guide.pdf

I'm not looking for sample extensions, and I already spent a full day messing with JBoss for deploying the war file. The only link left is alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0

There's no windows binaries in this download that I can find. They're all .sh files. There's alfresco.sh, apply_amps.sh, zstart_oo.sh, and in the bin directory clean_tomcat.sh.

If there's a Windows installer somewhere, do please tell me where to get it.

You've downloaded the .tar.gz which contains the Linux .sh files.

Admittedly it's not obvious, but the .zip version contains all the Windows stuff!

Thanks,
Mike

I have a strange mixture of feelings at the thought of how much time I wasted over this, when all I needed to do was download the zip file.

Anyhow, it's working, so thank you very much.
